'''Leonerasaurus''' is a Sauropodmorph from early Jurassic Argentina.[[File:Leonerasaurus.jpg|thumb|400px]]
Leonerasaurus is a new genus of herbivorous [[prosauropod]] [[dinosaur]]. It was described in 2011 by Diego Pol, Alberto Garrido, and Ignacio A. Cerda.[[File:Leonerasaurus-taquetransis-small.jpg]] The type specimen, which is an incomplete subadult, was found in the Las Leoneras Formation of [[Argentina]]. This formation is probably [[Early Jurassic]] (Hettangian) in age.
 
 
The type species is L. taquetrensis. Leonerasaurus is related to the contemporary genera [[Anchisaurus]] and [[Aardonyx]].
 
 
The type specimen of Leonerasaurus consisted of parts of a [[dentary]] and some teeth, neck and trunk [[vertebrae]], a sacrum, parts of the pectoral (shoulder) and pelvis (hip) girdle, as well as several limb bones. Leonerasaurus means "Las Leoneras lizard", after the place it was found.
